Well India lost the match and it's not a good decison to see Pathan for Sachin, I think India should play one more batsmen to make Batting line more stronger.
Their batting line up is strong, given that they already have Ganguly, Dravid and company in the squad. I was going through the statistics though, and it seems that the decision of playing five bowlers has backfired on India in the recent past.
Well Pathan did a job as Batsmen but both RP and Pathan failed to take wickets which is harm India when they tooked 4 wickets.
